    No new material has been played live at the band's handful of recent shows, but British journalists have heard rough mixes of six untitled songs, several of which cross the seven-minute mark.

    "Death Magnetic" (Warner Bros.) was produced by Rick Rubin and is the follow-up to 2003's "St. Anger," which has sold 1.76 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

    Following its Friday headlining slot at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee, the band is taking a month off before hitting the European festival circuit through late July.
